According to Spartanburg County Sheriff Chuck Wright, Angela Timmons sent a text to her daughter claiming that shots had been fired at Virginia College, where Timmons works. The daughter responded, but didn't receive an answer and called 911.

More than a dozen law enforcement agents rushed to the school, where they found no evidence of a shooting.

WSPA reports that Timmons later admitted the text was just a joke. She also confessed to pulling similar pranks in the past.
